Woodburn Homes for Sale and Real Estate

Area Description

Railroads brought the city of Woodburn, incorporated in 1889, into being after their arrival in 1871. Now sited between Highway 99E and the I-5 freeway — which bisect the Willamette Valley north to south — Woodburn’s population of nearly 25,000 is mixed. The Hispanic demographic is the largest, at around 60 percent. The diverse city also includes a significant population of Russian Orthodox Old Believers who immigrated from Turkey in the 1950s.

The Woodburn Premium Outlets mall, adjacent to I-5, has made a significant impact on the economy of the city. Woodburn is home to the 1889 Queen Anne-style Jesse H. Settlemier House (now a museum), built by and named for the founder of the city. The city is on the eastern boundary of the French Prairie, named for some of the earliest settlers of the area, French Canadian employees of the Hudson’s Bay Company.
